Hell... good intentions...
I just heard a story about one of my favourite non-Orthodox (although now hopefully he is) characters- Winston Churchill.
Apparently once while he was campaigning for office and addressing a crowd, someone from the crowd shouted out to him, "I'd rather vote for the devil."
Without skipping a beat and with a twinkle in his eye Churchill replied, "Well just in case your candidate decides not to run would you consider voting for me?"

Hello all,
This is my first post and found someone who is more open minded and not as predjudiced as others. His name is Cosmas.
I am considered to be pretty consertive as a Christian. Not yet perfect so who am I to judge another as God said, "take the mote out of thine own eye first before attempting to taking it out of anothers."
I don't know what it means to be orthodox so I came to learn.

Thanks

Louise
